Buster Olney said the Mets were close to signing Young but then a bunch of other reporters refuted it and said nothing was close to being done. Typical offseason "he said, she said" bullshit.
That being said, I'd love to have Young. The pitching market is relatively weak this year outside of Lee, and out of that group Young's a guy I definitely wanted. He'd fit in really well at Citi. Plus they need a starter anyway since nobody knows when Santana will be ready.
